Meanwhile former President Bill Clinton made appearances of his own. On Saturday, he made stops at several West Village eateries, including Red Hook Detroit, Parker Street Market, and Detroit Vegan Soul, as well as in Dearborn at Westborn Market. On Sunday, he took selfies with the crew at Slows Bar-B-Q in Corktown.

The Democratic Party has made it a point to be in the spotlight as much as possible whenever in town during this hotly-contested race. On top of the most recent foodie tour, President Barack Obama and Bill Clinton both showed up at Shinola on separate occasions (thus scoring some major PR points for the watch and bicycle maker). Over the summer, Hillary Clinton also popped up at Sweet Potato Sensations.

Part of that urgency very well likely has a lot to do with the fact that several of these establishments are owned by African Americans, important because the Clinton campaign is banking on support from the black community.
